WTB: Automatic swap for manual transmission

driver 06 · Jul 23, 2026

Looking to swap my automatic with an nv3550 5 speed or 6 speed manual transmission

My ride is a 2003 4.0L with the 42RLE automatic transmission approaching 70k miles

I am looking for a 6 speed manual transmission and related parts. Prefer a full swap but will consider purchasing.

Why not go ax-15?

It is going to be tough to get a full kit when you are mixing and matching year ranges. Your rig needs the stuff from an 03-04 if you want plug and play. The 6 speed needs the 05-06 stuff for plug and play.

Personal preference but open to an ax-15 if nothing else
